how to go about doing this to setup a nightly pull request from dev into qa

Based on your requirement, you could setup schedule trigger Pipeline in Azure Devops.

Then you could add the task: Create Pull Request from Create Pull Request Extension.

When the specified time is reached, it will trigger the pipeline and create a pull request. You could set the auto-complete in this task, then the pull request will complete.

Or you could write script to run the Rest API to create and complete pull request.

Create- Pull Request.
